Who's sending one? Who to? Anyone sending two?
Who hopes to get one? Who hopes not to? Who'll be worried about thanking someone for theirs in case it's actually from someone else but worries that if they don't say anything they'll get in trouble anyway and doesn't know what to do ohmygod this is so awful? Who still gets one from their Mum? Who's gonna send one to their married friends, just for a laugh? Who's going to send me one? Are we all going to send individual ones to Jemma or just club together and buy her one big one from us all?
Years ago I got a call from someone I used to go out with. We chatted for a bit and she suggested we meet up. I was surprised at this because she'd chucked me quite decisively a few months previously, following a Burns supper where my behaviour had fallen somewhat short of her expectations. During the night out she said "thanks for the flowers, I didn't expect that at all". Thinking on my feet, I just acknowledged her thanks despite not having a clue what she was on about. As far as I know, she never found out that it wasn't me that had put a huge bunch of flowers on her doorstep, signed the card ??? and then didn't bother letting her know that it was him. Like a dumb fuck.
